MALE DISAPPEARS

Since the new career updates when I choose a male to play and then I have them change into everyday clothes when it comes back my sim is grayed out followed by like a lightning rod when I push the rod it says the sim is caring for himself. can someone tell me why this is happening?

It seems that since the last patch some people are experiencing a bug that prevents their Sims from leaving work and returning home. If that happens, saving and then loading that save might make them appear right next to the home lot again.
